The Scoop

Count, mold and nest . . . three great activities with four pails! Count the critters molded on the bottom of each pail. Fill each pail with sand and decorate the beach with starfish, turtles, crabs and octopi! When playtime is over, nest all the pails and carry them home with the sturdy sea-green handle.

I purchased this set for my 17 year old and he really enjoys them. I love the bright colors, that the buckets are numbered, and the different sea creatures that are cut out at the bottom of each one.As an added bonus, He also enjoys rolling these around on the floor.

We bought these for our three kids to use at the beach on a recent vacation. First off, they fit easily in our suitcase and didn't take up too much room. The kids loved them and used them in the pool and at the beach and carried them all over the resort without a problem - all the other kids at the pool abandoned their pool toys to use these too! As with any other Melissa and Doug product we take away from home, we had lots of parents commenting on them and asking where we got them. Now we can't wait for summer to use them at home!

My daughter is 16 months, got her a set of these buckets to take with on our vacation(s). It stores well in the suitcase - great quality plastic and not flimsy at all. Very entertaining, she plays all day. I usually put water in the buckets and she just shovels one pail to the other. Stacks great. Use for bath time too.
